Shaving Sucks

Here is the good news. As of January 31st of 2008, I am a cancer survivor. I was diagnosed with Grey Zone lymphoma back in September of 2007, and underwent chemotherapy to kill the cancer. Chemo sucked, but I made cancer my bitch!

Now that I am healthy and off of the drugs from my chemo, I have noticed great changes in my body. My energy has returned and I'm able to do a lot more than I was before. However, there is a drawback to good health. The hair on my body is starting to grow back. It will be great to have legs that don't look like a 12 year old boy's and a full head of hair again. However, it sucks that the hair on my face is growing back in. I last shaved in October. After being diagnosed with cancer I let my facial hair grow for a while since I knew it would be falling out anyway. I have still yet to shave, but I can see it in the distance. There are tiny hairs on my chin and where the sideburns should be. During chemo they would fall out if I rubbed a finger across them, but they now seem firmly planted! DAMNIT! Shaving is a pain in the ass and I'm not looking forward to it again.

Of course I wouldn't trade not shaving for chemotherapy. Chemo is a dirty, old whore! However, if I had the option, I might choose to continue with my baldness on my head in exchange for a hair free face. Alas...this will never be. The time to bust out the rusty razor is near, and I will have to deal with it as best as I can.
